Your love is like the ocean

An endless sea of soft waves

Flowing over me, caressing

Cooling the fire that burns

Inside of me, I hear the roar

Like the tide, it crashes down

Then, recedes, into the deep

Let me drink of you, taste

The saltiness of your skin

The ebb and flow of desire

It knows no depth, my love

Only that we became one

Two souls united, our tiny grains

Blended, with the sands, sublime

She floated

from room to room

Her elegant figure

traced on the walls

from the light

of a street lamp

that shone through

an undraped window

She was like the wind

subtle, unseen

a presence

felt only by

the brush of a breeze

I watched in silence

afraid to disturb

this spirits journey

She Reminds Me ~ #NaPoWriMo #poetry of #strength

Dedicated to my beautiful Aunt Dee, whom I call my sister because she truly is.  Battling with MS, she has more courage than anyone I know.  I love her dearly.

She is my sanity, the voice of reason

When life sends me spiraling down

She is there, to catch me, to lift me up

When I can’t seem to find myself

She reminds me how far I’ve come

Never questioning who or what I am

Always by my side, always on my side

Even through her own battles

She is my rock, my soul sister, my friend

Letting me know I am stronger than ever

Yes, I am stronger, because of her

Betrayed ~ #poetry

He was betrayed

By those he loved

Left alone, to fend

Against the human

Demons who sought

After him, betrayed

By ones he thought

He could lay his trust

Isn’t it funny though

How we still carry on

This way, afraid to do

What’s right, until

It all goes wrong

And then we beg

His forgiveness…

She is Fire ~ #poetry #MarchWriting

She is fire, hair

like ruby gems, orbs

the color of emerald

green, she is a jewel

who sparks a flame

Dare to look into

hypnotic eyes, hidden

behind dark lashes,

concealing her power

keeping her

mysterious

duplicitous

bewitching
